TCG Gallery invites photographers and lens-based artists from around the world to submit work to "Contemporary Horizons," an open thematic call that explores the range of contemporary photography – from documentary, portrait, landscape and still life to abstraction, staged photography and experimental practice.

The call is open internationally to photographers and lens-based artists aged 18 and over, regardless of experience level. Digital, analog, alternative processes and mixed-media works are welcome, but images generated by or substantially processed with generative artificial intelligence are not accepted. Applicants can submit up to three images per entry, and multiple entries are permitted. It costs USD 15 to participate with one entry (up to three images), and fee waivers can be applied for separately at least 48 hours before the deadline.

Selected photographs will be exhibited in a curated online exhibition from December 1-31, 2026, and will be placed in TCG Gallery's exhibition archive. The exhibition may be promoted via the gallery's website, email and social media. Artists retain copyright and may choose to sell works through the gallery (30% commission) or mark them as not for sale. The call provides no guarantee of a printed book, prize or sales.
